    SASS: Cowboy Action Shooting

    Lots of fun. Competed a lot back in the day with my pops. We are friends with a lot of the guys that started it. I was in it back in like 1994-1997, those years. Actually finished first in a lot of the regional comps and twice finished second at End of Trail (thats the big annual event) in the...

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Just finished the game at level 35. Loved it. Wish it hadn't ended so soon. Will definitely buy the expansions and I've never bought any game's expansion before.

    Bummer, no Netflix on WMC after 9/15

    Ok, based on the advice here, I'm switching from WMC to Tivo. So far so good, but here is a question: What should we do with all of our WMC recordings? Since they are all recorded with a cable card adaptor, I'm concerned about playback should I upgrade to windows 10 even though I no longer...

    Bummer, no Netflix on WMC after 9/15

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing re: WMC-> TiVo switch. How happy are you with the change? Did you go with the Roamio or the Roamio Plus?

    Windows Media CENTER users, what do you use it for?

    We do not have any cable (or satellite) boxes. I have one main HTPC running WMC with a cablecard reader (HDHomeRun Prime) and 3TB of hard drive. I have five extenders in the house that are powered off of it.

    PSA: Don't buy Lenovo

    Not to mention that I used to have to completely wipe my computer, or if something broke, buy a new one, each year or two. Since switching to Apple, I've haven't had to do either, and it'll be five years in May. In fact it runs as well as it ever has.

    Best Indoor basketball

    We play with the Evolution. I like it a lot. But i've always wanted a real NBA leather ball to play with. The Evolution is a bit softer and a bit stickier on your fingers.

    American Horror Story: Hotel (Season 5) - Official discussion thread

    I loved the first season. Every season since, I just can't seem to get past like three or four episodes.

    Yup. All of my gaming is done on couch, via PC, with wireless 360 controller.

    The Witcher 3 To Look Same on All 3 Platforms

    I'm a PC gamer. I do not own an Xbox One or PS4. If a game wouldn't work with a gamepad, and needed mouse and keyboard, I wouldn't play it. My point is this-different strokes for different folks. This doesn't sound like your game if you only play with mouse and keyboard.

    Apple Product Owners

    Bose's noise canceling headphones are pretty good. Not quite the overrated/overpriced stuff that their HT equipment is known for.

    Gas brag thread. Filled up for $0.90/gallon yesterday.

    What the what?! Gas is getting cheaper, for sure, but its still like 3 bucks a gallon here in SoCal. Where are you with $0.90 gas?

    One more thing...I don't know if anyone really cares but the guy that co-hosts with me is doing a give away for our shirts. If anyone wants they can post their review on twitter with a hashtag. I doubt anyone is interested, but since you guys helped out so much, I figured I'd give you the...

    I honestly don't know what sort of algorithms iTunes uses. I think just subscribing helps. The big goal of asking for help was to get it where it was featured under New and Noteworthy so that people could actually see it without having to do a manual search. Thankfully that happened this...

    Hi guys, I would really appreciate your help. My good buddy and I have produced a podcast. It is called "Strength and Scotch". It is about health, fitness, and alcohol. I'm not going to ask you to listen to it. Frankly...it is not (yet) a very good podcast. We have no experience being...

    How much would going from a i5 3570 to i7 3770 help?

    Ok, awesome. I have the 3570K, too, which, as i understand it, is easier to OC. I can just open up the taskmanager to see if my CPU is maxed or not, right?

    How much would going from a i5 3570 to i7 3770 help?

    I have no overclock running. My interest was entirely for the HT. The reason I had to ask was because all of the new games coming out recommend an i7 processor, and I took that to mean that games are beginning to make use of the additional threads and/or cache. My framerates and graphics are...

    How much would going from a i5 3570 to i7 3770 help?

    I posted this in PC gaming because that is all that the PC does, but if it belongs in CPUs thats fine. Just wanted to add the note that the "helps" is only referring to gaming. Thanks!

    How much would going from a i5 3570 to i7 3770 help?

    I built my gaming rig a couple of years ago. I think it is still pretty good, but I recently upgraded my GPU from a 680 to a 970. How much improvement would I see by replacing the i5 i have with the i7? I think thats about as maxed out as I can go without replacing the motherboard. Moved...

    Thank you for posting this!!! I just finished the game last night and was more than a little confused about the Solas stuff at the end. Were you able to piece all that together on your own after one play through? PS- I finished the game in about 48 hours. And that was with me starting to see...

    Best Current RPG with a good story?

    DA:O is great, but if you're looking for something a bit more modern and current, I'd look at either Skyrim or The Witcher 2. If you are used to more action-type of games, the Witcher 2 is probably a great middle of the road type. It is sort of action adventure, but has a great story and some...

    Laptop for gaming that you can play with in bed...

    I would recommend something relatively inexpensive and not overly powerful...but then using Steam's in-home streaming.
